Joseph LAKANAL (1762-1845) politician, conventional (Ariège), organizer of public education. L.A.S., to a fellow sculptor [David d'Angers?]; 1 page and a quarter in-8. About the copy of his manuscript where the copyist, a legitimist, made a deliberate error: "Instead of the word infamous accomplice, I found a martyr with Robespierre. Believe my illustrious friend that my patriotism, which is more than half a century old, will be as firm as it has always been, as firm as the marble to which your genius knows how to give life and almost movement" .
